had the chance to play this game twice, we were 4 each time. We really enjoyed playing it. Being able to build up the ant hill and watching it complete in the end is very satisfying.
I get so irrationally excited when a game has a pass over as many tiles/cards as you want but leave some goodies on each one you pass mechanic. Can't explain it, but it makes me happy.
Thanks for the review, gentlemen! The informality of the thumbs (simplicity?) is not bad, but I would, personally, LOVE to see a transition to a straight-up BGG-esque 0-10 rating system for Miami Dice. Would be more functional to viewers in parsing your opinions for these games, but that's just my opinion! :) Keep up the good work!
I disagree. I could care less whether or not they give number ratings. It takes something that is highly subjective (how much someone likes a game) and abstracts that fact to the point of insignificance. What I focus on is My Reaction to the rules summary and all the comments.
I think this game would have been more attractive if they went with a different theme. All the brown is just off putting for me and I'm not crazy about the box cover.
Judging by how they rated it, I presume this one gets a "Dice Tower Seal of Approval". However the seal icon/animation was not included at the end of the review. Can we get confirmation from The Dice Tower please?
Well, bias can mean to prejudge, and in this case, I suppose someone could argue that Zee prejudged the game because of the designer. That is certainly possibly, but I'm not sure how anyone, even Zee, could know if he did that. It certainly appears that he just liked the game. Bias is often used as a negative, and I think we are in agreement here, is sort of a valueless word when applied to comment about someone's opinion. Much like "fanboy", and the like.
Nah, I don't think he was overly biased. To me a biased review would be someone who gives a game a good review just because if the designer without reason. He gave very good points as to why he likes it.
